Mark--great blog! I think you need to post somewhere on your blog, or on WNCC's website directions to your gym. I was out here looking for that and couldn't find it anywhere. I know lots of folks planning to head to Scottsbluff to watch some of the tournament and they have been calling my office wanting to know where the games will be and how you get there...might still post it out there is you can since there are still some days of plays left.
